I'm waiting for one of two things to happen, either Marc Zyngier gives
an ack for the patch 'arm64: kvm: allows kvm cpu hotplug', or the arm64
maintainers decide they will accept my proposal to merge kexec with a
conditional in the Kconfig that only allows one of KVM or kexec to be
selected.

The kexec patches have been in review for 20 months now, with only
minor changes in the past 15.  I don't expect much would be gained in
posting the kexec series again unless there is a chance they would be
merged.
